Thrifty-Eating Behavior Phenotype at the Food Court - Programming Goes Beyond Food Preferences.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prenatal growth impairment leads to higher preference for palatable foods in comparison to normal prenatal growth subjects, which can contribute to increased body fat mass and a higher risk for developing chronic diseases in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) individuals throughout life.
